FOSS in Indian Schools - A Serious Concern & a Request to Unite.
by Narendra Sisodiya 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Dear FOSS Enthusiasts and Activists. I am writing this letter to all for a request to create a task force to advocate FOSS in schools. If we fail to advocate Linux in schools then we will be failed everywhere. Most of the computer users like me are using computer from Last 5-6 year or less. They learned everything in college only. Also at our time computer was a costly device. We have not faced much difficult in migrating from Windows to Linux. Now we love Linux based distro and advocate for open curriculum, content , no-patents, no-DRM etc. But today scenario has changed. Computer are available in every * Mohalla* and Village. many of them are not having Internet connectivity. they are just using some pirated software. This is not a small population. This is a very huge population. This huge population of school students is also including student who do not have money to buy computer but they are learning using cybercafe and coaching classes. If you do not tell them to use FOSS and Linux based Distro, they will continue using pirated window software for next 10-15 year of their life until they got lucky to enter into a college where Local LUG is active and he got change to explore GSoC and other activities OR course curriculum include FOSS. *After 7 year, if you wish to give a lecture for advocating FOSS/Linux in a college then Do you think you can convince them to use FOSS/Linux and stop using the proprietary products which he is using from last 10 years? * During a workshop of Kids at NCERT, a 5th class kids refused to work on Kturtle because he was using LOGO software from last 1 year. Those who do not know LOGO created very beautiful diagrams with Kturtle. You can only reach engineering students at College level Linux/FOSS promotion and activities. But these student who are going to use proprietary product for they whole school life will go in various domain like art, music, law etc. you can never convince them after their mind-wash. I learned to do advocacy from two side attack. System is like pyramid. Bottom side contains huge student. and tip is controlled by those who run Education system. at top level we need to look for syllabus change and other activities. At bottom side we need to advocate FOSS and Linux principle in schools. Imagine the power of community and collaboration value inside this huge community. This student community need out love, care and guidance. We can together create a task force and think for various strategies to introduce FOSS in schools. If you empower this student community then they can crate whole curriculum and e-learning videos of their syllabus by themselves. == Duty of Task Force == * Creating mailing list or all FOSS + Edu persons * Bring all FOSS+Edu on mailing list Or paper newsletter * Creating Workshop for discussion. * supporting the development of SchoolOS * empower technical level of student and teacher * Creating article for FOSS advocacy * Creating template letters for creating workshop in schools * getting help from NCERT and other institutes. * Creating booklets/Books - Classwise * Creating Portals for students and teacher * Creating teacher and student community Please Join - SchoolOS mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/schoolos and wiki.schoolos.org -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘

Google Tech Talk: The Power of Collaborative Innovation
by Venkatesh Hariharan 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

I recently gave a talk at Google's Bangalore office titled, "The Power of Collaborative Innovation." This 60 minute talk is now archived at: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleTechTalks#p/u/24/Wye5rh9roh0 The abstract of the talk is given below for your reference. Venky Abstract of the talk ==================== The power of collaborative innovation. The Internet and the growth of the open source movement have lead to a fundamental change in the way knowledge is created and distributed. Older generation networks are either one-to-one networks (phones, faxes etc) or one-to-many networks (TV, Radio etc), while the Internet is a many-to-many network. As we move to an interconnected world, the balance of power is shifting from old, proprietary models of knowledge creation to the open source model that emphasizes collaboration, community and the shared ownership of knowledge. From management gurus to consulting firms to leading business schools, everyone is taking note of this new phenomenon that goes by various names like ‘Collaborative Innovation,’ ‘Open Innovation,’ or ‘Distributed Co-creation.’ This session will examine the impact of these trends on our collective future and how they can be harnessed for social and economic development. In particular, we will take a closer look at the growing global knowledge commons and its impact on current issues like open standards and software patents. About the speaker ================= Venkatesh Hariharan is Corporate Affairs Director (Asia-Pacific) for Red Hat. In this role, he works with industry, academia, government and the open source community to accelerate the growth of the global open source movement. In 2006, he was awarded the "Indian Open Source Personality of the Year" by the organizers of Linux Asia 2006. Hariharan is a former Executive Editor of Express Computer and the first Indian to be selected for the prestigious Knight Science Journalism Fellowship (1998-99) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a Knight Fellow, Hariharan spent a year looking at cutting edge technologies that can be deployed for bridging the digital divide. During his stint at Express Computer, he imparted a dynamic news orientation to the magazine. He has interviewed some of the leading figures in the world of technology including Microsoft's Bill Gates, John Gage of Sun Microsystems, Stan Shih of the Acer Group and many others. He has written for leading Indian and international publications including MIT Technology Review, Upside, Slashdot, Economic Times, Times of India and many others. After his stint at MIT, Hariharan co-founded of IndLinux.org, one of the leading localization groups in the India subcontinent. IndLinux.org has localized the GNOME and KDE interface of Linux to Hindi. The organization has helped localization groups in India, Bhutan, Nepal and other countries localize Linux and other open source software to their native languages. He has delivered talks on open source at leading academic institutions across the country, including IIT Bombay, IIT Guwahati, IIIT-Bangalore and many others. Hariharan believes that open source and free software are powerful tools to empower emerging economies with the benefits of information technology. He has advocated the adoption of open source and open standards in emerging economies for political, cultural and economic reasons through his writing and his speeches. He is currently setting up the Open Source Foundation of India. His long term interest is in the area of technology and public policy. He maintains a blog on open source and open standards at www.osindia.blogspot.com. Hariharan is a member of the Bureau of Indian Standards committee for data management, which recently reviewed and voted against OOXML. -0-

Ubuntu 10.10 user experience with broadband datacards
by Nishit Dave 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hello List, I have downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and alternate install ISO images last night. I'm posting this from a bootable USB pendrive installation (with persistence) of Maverick while on the road. I have two broadband datacards - Huawei EC1262 from Reliance Netconnect and ZTE AC2766 from MTS MBlaze. Both have started working 'out-of-the-box' through network manager. Earlier (10.04 Lucid), I had to run through a lot of trial-and-error, even after compiling and installing the latest usb_modeswitch version, in order to connect to the internet. I have earlier posted about only the ZTE AC2766 working with network manager, while the Huawei EC1262 only worked with wvdial, and that too, after frequent attempts. Now, all I have to do is plug the card in the USB slot, (wait for a few seconds to see the appropriate LED start flashing), and then launch network manager on the Gnome panel, as usb_modeswitch is included by default. What is more, without having to wait for the appropriate connection option to appear, I have to just 'Add' a connection to the 'Mobile Broadband' tab under the 'Edit connections' option. The resulting dialog droid does not show you your modem brand / model initially, but you have to just click 'Next' and select India from the list of countries. Thereafter, you are presented with a list of service providers using your specific brand and model of modem. Next step, just enter the default username and password supplied by your provider, and you're ready to go. You sometimes also get a confirmation of your provider and model on the Finish page of the dialog. In terms of operating experience, the MTS connection drops off suddenly and in a short time, while the Reliance one has been steady for a while now. I must also mention that I downloaded the ISO torrents on my Reliance connection with an average download speed better 180 kpbs. My first impression of Maverick is that the performance seems snappier. The System>Appearance dialog now has the Visual Effects tab included by default, so you can go and choose your compiz effects level immediately. That is all I have time for right now, and obviously many of the early adopters among you will have something to add by way of comments.

Touch Screen Driver Issue [question]
by Paul Schwarz 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi Group, I pose the following dilemma and look forward to enthusiastic discussions. As mentioned in a previous e-mail to you'll, we have developed an embedded PC with a touch screen. This device runs on a RMI, Alchemy processor (AU1250) and its touch screen is connected to this CPU via an ADS7843 chip and through the SPI bus. So far so good and pretty standard. The system originally ran on WinCE5.0 (Booooo!) and we are currently porting it to Linux. Now the problem that we are facing is that after the first 3-4 touch events, no more touch events are recorded after that and the sensitivity of the clicks is very weak. Lastly, when the screen is touched while a video is playing the video and audio pause for the duration of the touch. One of the reasons for why we are having problems with the screen's response, could be that the aforementioned SPI connection is multiplexed (74CBELV3257) with an on-board battery and RTC (DS1339) - see page 9 of the attached schematics. I would really appreciate any guidance someone can give based on prior experience. Please see the schematics and the touch screen driver code for reference (http://drop.io/g8hz909). Since we are based out of Bombay we could also meet up and discuss this in further detail. Of course, we are willing to compensate high-quality assistance that leads to eventual resolution of the problem. Thank you guys very much in advance. Have fun, Paul

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [Commercial] [OT] VoIP Appliance PBX
by Mitul Limbani 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Dear JT, Its not as scary as you describe. One of the most funniest thing about our law is that companies trying to sell telephony services must have license whereas consumers can buy whatever they want to and whatever is cheap. Which means selling skype service as a company under company's act need you to have license, but as a consumer you can buy the service using any legal means of money transfer (cheque, card etc) Eventually this results into the fact that a company in india can sell a product (just like selling a gun) but with an exception that these companies need not have any license to sell such goods. And even more interesting Democracy allows every indian the right to choose to buy these products from any company whichever he/she find comfortable to use. (telephony product and telephony services are two different things) FYI, we have launched our own embedded Single port PRI appliance IPPBX supporting 30 SIP extensions, any one interested can buzz me.

Android 1.6 tablet internet proxy setting
by Nachiketa Sadhu 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi, After the discussion about cheap android tablet in the list, I got interested and ordered a M001 tablet from the internet link provided by one of you. After a wait of about a month it arrived yesterday, the price was $109 and I had to pay a duty of Rs.766 to the postman. I now can not configure internet proxy setting on the device. Though through google search I have been getting some instructions, but they do not match the menus on my device. It runs kernel 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty, build number 1.9.1 and firmware version 1.6. I would be grateful if some one can give pointers to solve my problem. Thanks and regards. sadhu

Which flavour should be preferred?
by Sugandha Naolekar 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hello!! I want to install linux on my system. Which flavour would be preferrable in that-Fedora or Ubuntu? - As far as look and cool GUI is concerned, Fedora is preferred. -But, there are many dependencies that need to be resolved with Fedora. So, Ubuntu is preferred as a stable version. Can I get proper suggestions on the above? -Regards Sugandha

Friends, The format of JTD's recent mail (of 02 Oct 2010 15:57:20) triggered my next paranoia attack... parnoia awaiting another bout of ilug-mumbai-stalwarts mailing-etiquette discussions on how replies ought to be trimmed. The almost anticipated guidance arrived (at 03 Oct 2010 17:53:40) from Rony. Indeed it automagically helped me recover from my paranoia attack. Thank you Rony.

Job as Embedded Linux Application Developer (Qt/C++)
by Paul Schwarz 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi everyone, My name is Paul and I am a new member of the Linuxers mailing list. I am co-founder of En Route Media, a Digital Signage Startup, based out of Mumbai. We have developed proprietary embedded hardware and software (Linux Debian frontend, PHP/mySQL backend); patent pending, and are about to launch our wireless network of embedded screens here in Mumbai. A friend referred me to your list and well, we've got an opening that some of you may be interested in. Let me elaborate. The embedded solution has been developed from the base up in collaboration with a hardware development team. It is based on the Debian linux distro and the applications that it runs are developed in Qt/C++. We are looking for an enthusiastic techie, who would be excited to see a product being launched on the market, ideas implemented and regular new features and updates being created. Some of the other technological components you will be working with are: GPS, Bluetooth, Linux, RFID, etc. Our back-end is PHP and SQL-based, which means that dependent on your motivation and excitement you can try and teach yourself more than you already know and try and move deeper into powerful technologies that are used for front-end and back-end development today. These are just some of the many opportunities you will have with us in terms of learning. The fact that we are very small right now (only 3 of us), means you will get exposure to all aspects of the business and likely learn a lot about management and advertising as well. We are a very young and dynamic team and don't think dressing formally and spending exactly 9 hours at the office everyday is part of an exciting and meaningful work-life. We believe in a healthy play and work balance. And we often take that literally, by randomly playing all sorts of games in our office in the middle of the day. As long as the work gets done, everyone is much more happy this way. Anyways, enough about us. In summary, if you are interest in the array of technologies mentioned above and are always looking for exciting opportunities, we would love to hear from you. In the meantime, also check out our website for a few details about us guys, the founders: www.enrouteinc.com Take care, Paul _________________________ Paul Schwarz * Co-Founder of En Route Media* *Find me on... *M: 09930304088 L: 022 40093016 TheIndianStartup <http://theindianstartup.com/members/philippano/> *...or directly at: 254, A-Z Industrial Estate G.

[Concept] [OT] Convert a cell phone into WLAN internet source.
by Rony 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hello, I was looking at the Tata indicom ad. about a new 'photon' device that has a WLAN which can allow upto 5 users to connect to the internet via WLAN. The same can be done in mobile phones that are internet enabled and have a WLAN too. Simply share the internet (GPRS, EDGE, 3G) with the WLAN device and use it as a wireless router. If some mobile apps makers could pick up this idea and make a tiny application, it can save the users the need to buy new devices and have a handy internet source for some devices around. -- As a proper list etiquette...

Here is what I posted to them, post may be useful to our newcomers in mailing lists or using our content. ---- *Q*. "Everyone wants to know about what will be taught or told in rajasfoss? is it about describing ones project at foss? thanks in advance." Reply: I am highlighting these things first because this is what, that should be concluded after reading this mail and of course I would love to see this mail forwarded to curious individuals who care about such things. [ 1 ] First of all I would say you are very lucky as you are going to be a witness of information collaborative environment at RajasFoss [ 2 ] I introduce you to the word 'talk' : It means an individual would tell about his expertise, tools he use, about latest technologies and in talk you just have to sit in your seat and listen to one. No wonder if you can get all he/she is saying, but you will let yourself free in amazing world of knowledge. [ 3 ] In couple of days, talk topics and speaker lists will be there on our site (http://rajasfoss.lugb.in). There are enormous things and topics that can be talked in college and among curious minds, so just find out what you are curious at. So how are you going to do that : simple observe the talk list and speakers, go and search about topics and technologies they are going to talk about. If some of them will intrigues you then do some home work for that, spend some time about exploring it. [ 4 ] Fortunately the way we study, resources that we have are enormous but unfortunately proxies to them are not that efficient or cloaked. It is same as having a 4 mbps of internet connection in your hand but in the middle it is the proxy server that limits you and indirectly decides your surfing behaviour and in this context proxies are our books and lecturers and the way some other things are. They are going to remain as they are. No matter, here is some change, we let you know about learning resources, open methods, open standard and ways where you can flourish your curiosity and find out similar interest partners. [ 5 ] In short you should not miss it. If you are done with these five points and are at the bottom of my view, what I want to tell you then you should stop reading here. Further I write some naive explanation : When we grew up nobody knows what we are interested in and further if we get the thing in which we are interested, how we are going to get it, nobody knows. So simply our guardians, our schools and colleges provides us a broadcasting system. Signals of knowledge are delivered to us and we are a kind of receivers. But .. alas the frequencies and such receivers are not in our control, how good it would be if we can set the frequency to the channel you wanted to listen ever. And this is not the limit, if you don't like the way how frequency is delivered to the system and you have some reason for that as because you got a better way to do that. You might come up with a whole set of new protocols. But to do that you should have an open standard in your hand. For your amusement here I unveil the secret of making easy and obvious things 'hard' : Just make them close, just hide them under the mist how they works. Is there any mystery resides there in making a cup of tea , obviously No .. because the recipe is open and you can add your own kind of garam masala practicals to that. So, I am just trying to let you understand the open source / foss philosophy. It is exact what I used with a tea metaphor . It is the tea which you can fork up and come with your own idea of a new flavour. But how will you get to know how many flavours are already there... I mean how many teas/flavours are there how they were made and what are more potentials. An obvious thing will be to use internet and read up things, that's good but how amazing it would be if we gather somewhere where some persons from the same philosophy come up at stage and tell you about some mesmerizing ideas and clues that you can trace with your own minds. And that's what we call an open change in our mindsets and RajasFOSS is all about it. In very crude way this is an attempt about spreading some words that would force you to rethink about your own possibilities. Go ahead and join , and by reading this reply you have already relished the flavour of sharing thoughts. _______________________________________________ Lugb_ml mailing list Lugb_ml(a)lugb.in http://lugb.in/mailman/listinfo/lugb_ml_lugb.in -- Nitin Mudgal http://nitiniamme.wordpress.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/E/MU d+(-) s:- a-- C+++ UL+++ P+ L+++>++++ E W++>+++ N>+ o>+ K- w-- O-- !M !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP++ t+ 5++ !X R tv- b+ DI-- !D G+ e++ h+>+ r>+++ y ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------

It is simple and no-nonsense and has good recording fidelity with no adjustments required. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/quickly-record-soundcard-output-in-ubunt… The instructions are simple. first download all the dependencies by copy and pasting the _complete_ sudo apt-get ...... command as shown in the site. Then click on the blue download link and again click on the download now link for ..._all.deb and save the deb file. Run 'dpkg -i ....._all.deb' from the saved location. The link for outrec will appear in the Applications -> Sound and Video menu. Just press the record button to start recording and click on mp3 or ogg for the type of save. The file will be available in the folder called outRec in your home directory. -- As a proper list etiquette... Please trim your replies. Post your replies below the relevant original text, leaving a line space. Do not re-use old messages to write new ones. Regards, Rony.

experiment in cron
by Nitesh Mistry 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

I am doing this little experiment in cron, but not able to make it work. I want cron to play a certain mp3 file at a certain time. So I add the usual time parameters and add the following to the command field: /usr/bin/ffplay <path to my mp3 file> But cron mails me an error which I have attached as text file. I also tried "/bin/bash /usr/bin/ffplay <path to my mp3 file>" but it does not work. Where am I going wrong? When I simply give the following command from terminal, it plays the file: ffplay <mp3 file> -- Regards, Nitesh Mistry www.mistrynitesh.com PGP key id: CC580416

Linux installation tied to Harddisk
by Kshitiz 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Dear Friends Want to know how to tie up an installation to a particular HDD. We do Linux implementations and had seen people ghost the whole harddisks to save on implementation charges. Currently we are using a commercial solution that costs us dear and does not let us bring down the cost of deployment. What we thus require is: 1. We can tie up the installation with the hdd serial number with some command / application that can... a. Check the harddisk serial number before booting (may be through GRUB - but to my knowledge, such a command does not exist within GRUB). b. Delete the installed partition where we have installed our deployment and applications if not matching. c. Encrypt the data partition with a key that only we can decrypt. 2. We can run our entire installation from a DVD provided that is tied with an online system which will not allow the system to boot unless the key matches with the one in our database. Thanking you in anticipation of a reply. If your reply includes a commercial proposal, please inform us accordingly on my email id privately. Regards Kshitiz

flamewars on top posting
by Suhit Kelkar 13 Sep '10

Hello, Many of the users who rant of others top posting have been guilty of worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called 'senior' users has called someone a moron. That same user has appointed himself a custodian of netiquette. I suspect that this ranting about top-posting is merely a pretext to keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos. Regards Suhit Kelkar.

luit linux
by h.godavari 12 Sep '10

I saw this mentioned on DistroWatch and downloaded the iso. I was pleasantly surprised when it loaded (a live cd) on a 486/66 with 32 MB RAM . Unfortunately it did not recognize the serial mouse on com2. I sent a message to the author <dr_ashim(a)hotmail.com> with no response. Without the mouse I could not navigate very well but it seems to be a nice distro that can run even on such ancient systems . It would be nice if some talented person takes this under their wing and help recycle those ancients. Regards hg. PS: how can I (computer illiterate) get this to recognize serial mouse (& comm ports). Feather Linux, very similar to this is also an orphan it seems.

Inaugural Lecture of Free Software certificate course at St.Joseph's College,Bangalore on the 15th September 4 p.m.* St.Joseph's College, Bangalore has incorporated 120 hours of free software sessions to be handled by FSMK and other like-minded Free Software Enthusiasts. The course syllabus will be put up on website of FSMK very soon. The idea is to to empower students to become productive self-supporting citizens of the free software community. Its an honour to have professor Eben deliver the first lecture of the course. *2. Prof.Eben at Ambedkar Community Computing Center (AC3) on the 16th September., evening* Before two years, RMS and Prof.Eben visited AC3 with only a few students who were being taught computers using Free Software. Today, these handful of young free software activists from the community are running three other Community Computing Centers completely on their own. Prof.Eben will visit AC3 for a community discussion, where the members of these centers will initiate a discussion on the activities so far, the ups and downs and the way forward. There will also be a small cultural event organized by AC3 students. *3. Interaction with Prof.Eben Moglen on the Freedom in the Cloud at Indian Institute of Science, on 17th September , 3p.m – 5 p.m, faculty hall IISc. * Speaker: Prof. Eben Moglen Professor of Law and Legal History at Columbia University Founder, Director-Counsel & Chairman of Software Freedom Law Center Time: Fri. Sep 17 2010 3pm-5pm Venue: Faculty Hall, IISc Title of Talk: "Freedom in the Cloud: Software Freedom, Privacy and Security for Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing" Abstract: Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. They'll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And you can't wait to let them. They'll store your stuff, they'll organize your photos, they'll keep track of your appointments, as long as they can watch. It all goes into the "Cloud." How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. This talk will discuss how much worse things have become since the pre-cloud era and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the era of Web 2.0. I cordially invite you all to come and celebrate software freedom day along with us during these events. -- Regards, Vignesh B. Tech in Computer Science National Institute Of Technology-Durgapur

Hello, I had used the @ symbol in my subject line. One user, whose name I do not seem to remember, thinks he knows better than other people what linguistic symbols to utilise in mailing lists, and he responded as below: ==quote==Please go back to Facebook/Twitter. List mail threads do not concatenate themselves with the @nonsense. Read the mailing list guidelines once again and try to respect them.==quote== I do not understand the first sentence. Should I then politely ask the honble user to *please* go back to wherever it is that etiquette is taught? Regards

Whoops: flamewars on mailing list twee-ness
by Suhit Kelkar 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hello, My earlier message should have read as below. Many of the users who rant of others not trimming their mails, top-posting, bottom-posting and other bits of prissiness have been guilty of worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called 'senior' users has called someone a moron. The same user has now appointed himself a custodian of netiquette. I suspect that this ranting about trimming mails and such is merely a pretext to keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos. Regards Suhit Kelkar.

I like to recall his major contributions to Free Software Movement in India He was known to me initially through Google Summer of Code candiate for Swathanthra Malayalam Computing , for building the prototype for Malayalam Speech Recognition system. and he started that with a project named sharika based on CMU-SPINX library. He become an active volunteer of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing and part of various other LUGS like Swathanthra Software Users Group Malappuram, Foss Group in MES, FSUG- Thrissur etc. He become the project admin for Translating GNU.ORG webpages to Malayalam, and made a lot of progress with that work . He involved with Organising Various FOSS programmes in his college and varouos cities in Kerala . Shyam initiated the Syllabus Review page in FCI Wikia http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Syllabus_Review and compiled most of the data, in association with Venkiy . Which become a major intervention too later. He took a major role on realising the idea of GNU labs and implimenting the first functioning GNU lab in MES kuttippuram http://gnulabs.org/ Shyam was a good speaker in various FOSS conferences like FOSS.IN , Mukth.in etc and associate with Various FOSS Groups like IndLinux, SMC, FSUG-Thrissur, FSUG-Calicut, SSUG Malappurm etc His funeral is at Ramapuram, Pala, Kottayam District today Shyam's Photo From Niyam's collection http://www.flickr.com/photos/niyam/2399712870/ ~ in the memory of a good friend Anivar -- "[It is not] possible to distinguish between 'numerical' and 'nonnumerical' algorithms, as if numbers were somehow different from other kinds of precise information." - Donald Knuth _______________________________________________ network mailing list network(a)lists.fosscom.in http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in

Vedic calendar algorithm
by Pratik Anand 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

I am making a simple symbian app in Python which will take Gregorian calendar date from user and convert it to Vikram Sanvat /Shak samvat of Vedic calendar. unfortunately, the hindu calendar varies much from the our de-facto system in no. of days in months. So, I am looking for an algorithm which does it effectively , otherwise, I will have to write it from scratch which may have some bugs(in dates). the app first calculates the time in seconds(unix epoch way) then converts it to gregorian. This info be of help,if any. More reference here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikram_Samwat -- Pratik Anand B.Tech - CSE (3rd year) Blog: pratik3d.blogspot.com Twitter: twitter.com/pratikone
